Cam Specs? Low Vacuum = No Brakes

By Dave Alton - 03/20/2002 9:32:31 PM; IP 205.188.197.176

I bought a cam from Ford Motorsport in 96 or 95 for my 428. I believe the part number was M6250-A411. Does anyone have an old Motorsport Catalog that shows what the cam specs are for this cam? I lost the card that came with it. I am not exactly sure of the part number. It was the only cam listed for a 390/428.
I've installed the engine/cam in my 67 Mustang GTA,it runs strong, but only puts out 8lbs of vacuum at idle. Not enough for the brakes. I've put a vacuum cannister on it, but it hasn't helped the brakes. Will I have to put an aux. vacuum pump on, or is there a cam that will produce enough vacuum to run the brakes. Any help would be appreciated.
